Catholic priests have been molesting children for years and it is hidden from the public. Two nuns embezzle money and it’s all over the news. Do you think they should be given a pass also?

1 Answer

Answer :

Nuns are not as good as cover-ups as priests are. I think that to be a successful criminal, you need to be as good at covering up your misdeeds as you are at doing the misdeeds in the first place. It’s high time that nuns are allowed to be clergy (and say Mass, and so on), so that they can develop the same level of criminal skills that male clergy do. If women ever want to be seen as equal to men in the Catholic hierarchy, they have to be just as scandalous.
